With the exception of the VM issue and some pain getting the security profiles configured (IBM and/or the SAF vendor should be of help), BCPII is the way to do this. VM is an interesting challenge.

Essentially I'm looking for a method of identifying MVS images so that I can talk to my agent running in each of those images. If my agent is not running on an image then neither is any other of my software. BCPii looks interesting, but obviously has security issues and won't run on an MVS image running under VM. This is very very early days in my research. My initial thought was that I might be able to extract the 'hypersocket' data in some way. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Don Williams Sent: 21 September 2010 22:47 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Identify all MVS images in a CEC Why would a dishonest customer be willing to grant your product the security it needs to validate the seating arrangements (assuming that is your intent)? [Think security exit, etc. that tells your product it is authorized, but suppresses actual access.] If the customer is honest, then he would just abide by the contract as agreed. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On > Behalf Of Steve Austin > Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 3:41 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Subject: Identify all MVS images in a CEC > > I am researching seat based licensing for Cloud computing on z/OS and > have the following question. > > From an MVS image is it possible to identify all other active MVS > images > in the CEC even if some of those images are not in a sysplex? > > Thanks > > Steve > > - --------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs > Email > Security Service and the Macro 4 internal virus protection system. > . --------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO > Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 internal virus protection system. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 internal virus protection system. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
